“…Although it is accepted that men are the predominant perpetuators of rape myths, research indicates that some women may also endorse rape myths (Hayes et al, 2013). Literature (Moor, 2007) suggests that acceptance of rape myths and, subsequently, victim-blaming may be internalized by those who have experienced sexual assault.…”

“…It is unclear whether there are differences in rape myth acceptance and internalization among those who consider themselves survivors, victims, or neither. Examining such factors could have implications for treatment as internalized victim-blaming can increase feelings of shame and hinder responsiveness to treatment (Moor, 2007). If those adopting a specific label have lower levels of rape myth acceptance, it may be beneficial for future researchers to examine the benefits of exploring labels as a means of reducing internalized victim-blaming and encouraging self-compassion.…”

The goal of the current study was to assess the effects of self-labeling on attitudes related to victim- and self-blaming and self-compassion outcomes in 85 participants (75 women, 10 men) who have experienced sexual assault. Participants classified themselves as either a survivor, victim, or neither survivor nor victim of sexual assault. Regardless of self-classification, groups did not differ in victim-blaming (rape myth acceptance), self-blaming, or levels of self-compassion. Implications for language and forced labels of those who have experienced sexual assault are discussed.

“…For example, frequency of flashbacks may reduce, but avoidance of sexual contact is being maintained by feelings of guilt, shame, or disgust (Van Berlo & Ensink, 2000), and therefore, flashbacks during sexual contact cannot be addressed. Emotions such as shame may also limit self-disclosure about sexual problems, possibly due to internalized prejudicial social attitudes (Moor, 2007). Hence, fear-based avoidance in people with both PTSD and sexual problems need to be explored within a collaborative theoretical framework in order to develop tailored interventions.…”

The measurement of sexual problems is overlooked in psychological treatment RCTs for sexual trauma. Current treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from sexual trauma do not appear to be addressing sexual problems. Integrated treatments for comorbid sexual problems and PTSD treatment may be warranted. It is imperative that in future, RCTs that examine people with PTSD from sexual trauma use outcomes of sexual problems.

“…These attributional tendencies are particularly troubling given that the vast majority of crime news stories are episodic in nature (Gilliam & Iyengar, 2005). Although researchers (e.g., Moor, 2007;O'Hara, 2012) argue that the media and the public's propensity for victim blaming has negative effects on crime survivors, this hypothesis has not been empirically tested.…”
